What year is your indy trail 488

😂😂😂😂

Were those ever offered with electric start?

I'm determined to resurrect the indy trail deluxe that's been sitting under my deck for 10 years. While I'm probably not going to go this in depth, at least now I know where to look for potential nests.

There is no mistaking the exhaust sounds of an old 40hp

First year of the 40! I love it. Makes me miss my 63 Duratech 16 with a 63 Evinrude Big Twin 40.

too awesome in big muddy puddle!!!!!

awesome!!! Again !!

How did ya get those bolts out to clean..???

What brand and size is the rear sprocket?

Yawn!

Pretty cool!

👍

Mmmm exactly what I was thinking!

Very good

The grease on the switch is a dielectric grease and the switch needs it. Don’t wipe that grease off!

You probably know this by now but if that’s an LT1000 most of them ( if not all ) take 95”X 1/2” belt

Thanks for sharing this I might just have my engine swapped

I have a 2002 300 and it is doing the same thing. I have the whole thing apart trying to find what it is. I have a few parts ordered so im hoping the parts I ordered is what is wrong

Is a snorkel?

Nice job. Its good to see the results of going both directions.

Love the older Polaris sleds. Got a 1995 Indy440 (liquid cooled), and that thing rips. It is plenty fast enough for me, and fun on the trails too. That L/C free revving 440 has more than enough power to get me into all kinds of trouble, LOL. Just put a new pair of plastic skis on it this year, but due to lack of winter, haven't been able to ride on them. Maybe next year... That Auto Ski really brought back some fond memories for me. It reminds me of an old Boa Ski I had back in 1980-81. Mounted a 297cc Sachs on it and just had a total blast on that thing! I have a lot of fond memories of riding that sled all day, coming in for supper, and then out again for some evening riding. There is nothing like banging around on a one-lunger sled. Good times! I have been wanting to get a one lunger for a long time, but they are hard to find in this area. So when I saw this 1988 Yamaha Inviter, I had to check it out. Bought it! Liquid cooled 300cc one lunger, and man that thing is an absolute hoot to ride. It ain't fast, but the fun factor is off the chart. Even shot a few videos on it, but my camera mount is...well...not so good, LOL. Too bad nobody makes a simple fan cooled one lunger sled these days. I think there is a market for them, even in today's world. If Yamaha brought back the Bravo, they may have been able to stay in the snowmobile market. That was one solid machine. Anyways, I am done rambling. Thanks for the memories. Had fun riding along with you. :)

Awesome sled!! MAGA 2024!!!

I didn't need the puller to get the wiper arms off. A little wiggling is all it takes.

Looks like a rebadged sno jet.

its not compression if its firing with that little effort its definitely still a fuel issue

Take a tube of red hight twmp silicone and run it around the carb boots saves ya money and will last much longer

We still got the hole im my driveway from this lol

The good ol Polaris secondary clutch drag haha def need more tension on the secondary spring so your not starting in second gear. Polaris is famous for this or the older stuff easy fix sometimes you can just pull it apart an change the spring to a diif hole... I used to check the stock spring numbers and find an aftermarket spring with same finish rate but get a higher start rate. Like the other guy said maybe you can shim it if that's an option.. Clutches def need work secondary for sure

I was thinking about mounting my fuel pump like you did, what made you put it like that? Any benefits?

air box YES, clutch spring needs shimming to return to stock or higher RPM engagement ( 3500 rpm or I like higher than stock )

Find and AIR BOX and put that back in there. The Polaris Air Box has Velocity stacks in them to and carbs where set up for that. Your Correct in tossing the AIR filters. When you get the air box back on correctly. The vent line for the carb bowls will go in the air box and meter the correct volume of fuel air mixture pre each circuit better. Your Jetting should clear up the plugs and not be so lean.

Heck yes that's awsome I remember them old sleds had a old 67 polaris single 372 it was a tank but ran that's all we needed to have fun as kids

mess with that low speed jet a little . pretty awesome sled, I have had quite a few vintage sleds. is that a hirth engine?

Thanks for sharing my ATV just had a similar issue. Going to try the starter silinoid on mine.

Playing throttle jockey will also foul plugs. There is literally no benefit to doing that.ive never understood why people do that?

Those filters will cause a rich condition. Put the airbox back on

I see that you’re a Ryobi supporter too…🤙

The reason i ask is if it was running before that test then it didnt have less than 100 psi. They wont even run with that low of compression. Most likely it didnt even need a rebuild

You do realize you were doing the compression test wrong right? Also did it run before the compression test?

I love trails and 488s. I had a few different ones. My favorite was my 97 trail...actually sold it to a guy in your country

Fucker still turns the track good for over 10k

Long live the 488 indy trail...such a beast

LOL. When you're driling, the auto CC classifies it as music.

Too awesome and good rubber boots!!!

Awesome!! What's the green assessory light for? Like why would that green light on your dash come on?

Cool. Olympiques had great fan cooled engines.

Awesome!!! Very rare.

Awesome!!! Who made the engines for auto-Ski?
